Lost Kid In A Park

          After visiting the National Museum of Singapore, I strolled around the area to find a place where I can sit down and read a book. I was surprised with the beauty and wonder that lies behind the museum- Fort Canning Park.

          The museum showcased the 50th anniversary of Singapore television with an exhibit of media through out the time. Different living galleries are also present in the museum- food, film, photography, and fashion.

           Seeing the rapid development and vast progression of this, indeed, cosmopolitan country through this exhibit, I can say that being exposed to different cultures made Singapore truly diverse and culture-enriched. And to top it all off, I found out that Christian Dior was the biggest influence in their fashion. Makes sense!

          Right before I crossed the street, this view took my breath away. Fort Canning Park is one of the historical landmarks of Singapore. Artefacts have been preserved here and up to this day, you can still see some of the remains from the golden age. Here is the list of the things you should not miss when you visit the park.

Along the Street of Stamford: Singapore Biennale 2013 Visit Part 2

          This is the second part of my trip to the museums and this visit is quite extraordinary than the previous one. Singapore Biennale 2013 at National Museum of Singapore, 93 Stamford Road, is one of the venues of the event.

          The exhibit, Unsubtitled, found at the basement of the museum has a well-explained life of Vietnamese. Their everyday life seems mundane to many, but its transparency has moved people to what reality is. Below is shown human-sized white boards where daily living of a Vietnamese is projected.

           Other amazing works are the Rainbow Circle found at the entrance of the museum. Wormhole, Lumbung Ilmu, 2243: Moving Forward are situated just outside. Chalk & Cheese is something you will give a second look to for a bunch of mops and brooms are quite odd to be placed in the middle of a hall.

          One of my favorite pieces is the Crystal Palace: The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nuclear Nations. You will not miss the 31 majestic chandeliers lit with UV light adjacent to Unsubtitled. 31 stands for the number of nuclear plants in Japan. This work of art manifests the Fukushima nuclear bombing in Japan back in 2011.

Garden in the City

          Known for their great collection of plants and flowers all over the world, Gardens by the Bay exhibits a world-class garden in a city that spectacles the ecosystem of plants and its nurtured environment. This famous tourist attraction is located at Marina Gardens Drive. You can take the Circle Line (also known as Yellow Line) and alight at Bayfront MRT Station.

          Below are pictures from the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest- two glass biomes found at the facade of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
